But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
